2nd November 2022. Walking round Cologne Old Town, I sort of knew I had to visit a Paffgen pub; Dave had said so. But I was also aware the one in the Heumarkt wasn’t the must visit. But how could you resist this gorgeous place, highly rated by Ron; I took an outside high table,… Continue reading MAX PAFFGEN

COLOGNE OLD TOWN
Greetings from snowy Sheffield. Don’t know why I bothered mowing the lawn; can’t even see it now. Word Press is still asking me about my favourite cartoon; it obviously doesn’t think I post more than once a day. Sadly, I’m not as young as BRAPA or Blackpool Jane these days and 400 words and 10… Continue reading COLOGNE OLD TOWN
I AM LEVI’S ONLY TOURIST
Today’s Word Press blogpost prompt is “What’s your favourite cartoon ?”. Out of loyalty I should say “Anything by Mark Crilley“, I guess, but that might be a slur on Mark’s artistry so I’ll say this one; Always walking, always smiling, always telling fibs. 2nd November 2022. I continued my exploration of Leverkusen, perhaps the… Continue reading I AM LEVI’S ONLY TOURIST
WHO OR WHAT IS LEVERKUSEN ?
Today’s unwanted WordPress prompt is “What could you do less of ?“. Get my hopes up, watching England, I guess. On a football theme, back to November’s trip to Germany, who will surely win the cup now. 2nd November 2022. Mrs RM had agreed to join me in Cologne on condition she could spend Tuesday… Continue reading WHO OR WHAT IS LEVERKUSEN ?

Well, nothing really. OK, I met the Southworths twice (2x). 1st November 2022. By the time we met up with… Continue reading FRÜH am Dom!
IN SEARCH OF KOLSCH
1st November 2022. As you’ll know from the obligatory map in the obligatory November stocktake we managed a bit of authentic tourism last month. I’d been eyeing a return to Germany for the first time since 2016 since the Covid restrictions eased, but it looked tricky to get away with a month of family duties… Continue reading IN SEARCH OF KOLSCH
DOM KOLSCH
The only way to follow Oldham is, of course, Cologne. To assist those of you who didn’t get a “B” in Geography “O” Level, I’ve shown Cologne in relation to England. Well, Dover, anyway. You’re here because I’ve found my small stash of foreign programmes that Steve Earl used to sell 5 for a… Continue reading DOM KOLSCH
